Outlook Express - my sent messages are not appearing in my "Sent items" folder.

E-mails are not appearing in my "Sent items" folder  How can I fix it?

Tools | Options | Send. Is the ability to save a copy in sent items checked? If it is already, you have corruption of dbx files.
 
 
Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.
 
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
 
In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
 
With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.
 
After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
 
Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
 
General precautions for Outlook Express:
 
Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  • Debugging Win32 from OutputDebugString() messages do not appear in the debugger

    I am using CVI to produce messages from debugging debugger Win32 using OutputDebugString().  However, debugging messages are not appearing in any debugger.  I can see them in the debug output window in CVI, but they do not appear in any debugger (DebugView, Spy Trace, Hoo WinTail, etc..)  I show all messages in every process in the debugger, and I can see the messages sent with OutputDebugString() of LabVIEW, but for some reason any nothing appears when I call with CVI OutputDebugString().  I also tried all the Options-> environment-> Debug settings.  I'm with CVI 10.0.0.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Joe

    Only a debugger can capture the output of debugging a program debugged at the time. So if you are DEBUGGING your CVI program, then the program debug output is visible in the CVI debug output window. If you RUN (Ctrl + F5) your CVI program without debugging, then you can see the output in dbgview program debugging.

  • Outlook Express sends the message, however, the message remains in the "Outbox", does not go to the "sent items".

    When I send an e-mail message, the message is sent, however, it remains in my "Outbox" and does not go to the contrary to my Inbox "sent items".  Downstairs, to the left of the Outbox, a message says '0 1 message sent' but the e-mail message is sent.  I "fixed" internet explore and "restored" to a policy earlier, but this has not solved the problem.  What is the solution?  Please notify.  Thank you.

    I have moved all my messages on my "Sent items" folder and the "trash" to other folders, closed Outlook Express and delete the file Sent Items.dbx and Outbox.dbx file.  I reopened Outlook Express, and it does not create new sent items folders and the Outbox.

    I created a new identity as the solution.  Thanks for the help.

  • Message from Outlook Express 6 sent does not close

    All of a sudden, when I compose or reply to a message and then click on send, the message remains on the screen, as if it has not been sent.  When I open the sent items folder, the message was sent.

    Any ideas what is the cause?

    It could be due to corruption, or it could be due to antivirus software.  For the first time, you can go to file | Identities and set up a new identity and then, once that is working very well, go to file | Import | Messages and import them from the old identity.  For the potential problem of the antivirus, see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and you can also configure a new identity in this case, once you have disabled any features e-mail scanning.

    In addition to comments of Bruce, likely OE compacted messages and in doing so, he probably wiped out the where they are absent.  Check your Inbox and message store bak files which are backups dbx files prior to compaction (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).  If you cannot find the bak files, then you will probably use the extract of the service drive of my DBXpress program (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).

    Problems sending messages.

    and my messages are not sent. I have a total of 9 messages that have been blocked.

    Do I need to have a pop3 address or can you tell me what is happing.

    You must have an account set up under Tools | Accounts | Mail to send from Windows Mail.  If you click on a link, it will not lead you to a webmail interface, but called instead a mail client, such as WinMail.  Around that, the only way is to copy the email address and paste it into a new message you have composed of webmail.

  • Outlook Express can compact messages. How can I disable this error?

    OUTLOOK Express on Windows XP very annoying, it's almost each and every time I click on anything whether to open or close any program, etc...

    An error message is displayed: OUTLOOK Express: to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.

    This can take up to a few minutes.      OK or CANCEL

    It's on my computer for several years now and bugs the heck out of me.  How can I remove it so he won't?

    ALSO: All programs when opening are reduced to the minimum (small format) forces me to click on the big box next to the RED X at the top right?

    Why this is happening and how to remove this problem.  I do NOT need to expand all my programs constantly from the start?

    Thanks for your help Mike G.   * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *

    I do not use OE so I really should stay out of it, but I have it in my notes that can get you started and then other people may also help:

    I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

    If you are talking about a message that says:

    To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

    Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

    If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

    Compact Check Count

    It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

    \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

    Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

    There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

    Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

    If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it works which is usually at least at each reboot.

    If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

    So if you have Desktop Search installed, which will increase the counter of an increment, each time that you start and if you open and close OE ten times a day, your meter will be at eleven after only a day.  Repeat this for 9 days and you will see this message.

    Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will still increase the meter, so when the meter reaches 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages at the next reboot even if you use not OE.

    This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE or not.

    No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

    Did you know that the "increase" is not a verb?  If you cannot 'increment' (or decrement) a counter.  You can increase or decrease an increment, however.

    You can compress data when prompted (which resets the counter to 0).

    You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

    If you do not use Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

    To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

    After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

    Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

    Windows Desktop Search is a memory and CPU of pigs anyway, so you better system performance if you just uninstall it.

    OE questions should be asked here in the future.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it?
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

    On the Corruption of files
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

    Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

    See:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

    For more information, see the information framed in red here:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    And backup often.

    Marius

    Prompt compaction is triggered whenever you close OE 100 times.  So if you compact manually, you don't get invited again until you close OE for another 100 times.  Unfortunately there is no way to change this.  Dbx files shall be compacted.  If they are not, they will move on to an enormous size, and then get corrupted, so it is important to pack on a regular basis.

    How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using only a single SMTP account?

    In other words, I need to download via POP3 messages sent to the * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy * but I want to send messages using Mar SMTP service associated to * address email is removed from the privacy *

    Is this possible?

    How can I configure Outlook Express?

    Concerning

    Marius

    You can do this if the Server SMTP allows you to send from a location that you are not connected via their internet service.  So if you have this permission, go to tools | Accounts | Add mail.  Then under the account of property | You want to set the server for incoming mail to the POP3 account, and then the SMTP protocol for the other account that you use to send servers.  And then indicate whether or not the server requires authentication, and if yes, then you will need to put in the user name and password for the SMTP server it.  Under properties. Advanced to define appropriate ports that may be different from the default value according to e-mail accounts.  You can also check the "leave a copy of messages on the server" for accounts POP3, if you access messages from multiple computers.

    Once you have an account set up, then you can set others upward in the same way, but change the POP3 properties for each while leaving the SMTP ones the same.

    Once you have all that in place, you might want to backup things in case something goes wrong: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6
